Totally delicious #fingerlakes #riesling , perhaps not as layered as the German and Alsace examples but floral, citrus notes and notably no petrol on the nose which can be polarizing. Bright acidity on the palate, absolutely dry finish, excellent wine to pair with spicier Punjabi Indian cuisine. — 13 days ago

#kabinett #riesling - Classic petrol, rubber notes layered on top of apricot jam, honeyed apple, pear, subtle white flowers. Luscious mixture of acidity and sweetness on palate - paired appealingly with mild Indian food. — 2 years ago

Beautiful very dry #fingerlakes #riesling - Bit bashful on the nose, faint apple/pear but more beeswax, lanolin. Delicious plush acidity and lush texture on palate, long finish. Excellent paired with a spicy Sri Lankan plate. — 8 months ago

Another unusual varietal from #chateaumontelena - Kaffir lime, green apple nose. Orchard fruit, pear on palate, lovely luscious mouthfeel, medium plus acidity, slightly sweet finish. Excellent #pottervalley #riesling to pair with Sichuan chicken on a hot Texas summer evening. — a year ago

This is your #riesling if you’re not a fan of the petrol / diesel notes, once this has had a chance to breathe a bit. While I don’t mind those, this is a nice alternative terroir expression - subtle floral and peach notes on nose. @Kurt Schuster is spot on with the crystalline descriptor. The palate is more about the luscious fruit texture backed by sturdy acidity and a touch of RS rather than a lot of complexity. Where else can you get #grandcru #alsaceriesling other than #costco for ~$18? — a year ago

Chalky lemon and lime mineral nose, candied grapefruit rind, crystalline green apple, Bosc pear. Perfect balance in an adroit turn from tart citrus to tangy apple. Every facet shining. Lemon persists with a salinity that keeps giving. Sublime.
